Today I found out my scores on the AMC-10 and California Mathematics League.

On the AMC-10 I got 111.5 out of possible 150 points, which is significatly higher than lots of other people in the class (including 8th graders). The other 7th graders (namely Tony, Felix, and Timothy) beat me by a few points, and all the top 8th graders (Steven Liao, Daiwei, Patricia, Archit, etc.) scored close to perfect!

CAML: I only got 36 out of 40. [shy] I won’t get the paper back until 2 weeks later. Something interesting…the contest designers say that anyone with a score of 15 or above is “to be commended”, so I guess that’s everyone in our class! LOL

I wonder what I got on the previous Math FAX? One of the problems asked for “the area of the cylinder, in terms of [tex]pi[/tex]“. Surface area or volume?
